Free Fonts For Writing With Cricut - With Fine Line Markers


Free Writing Fonts For Cricut 
The Cricut machine, when writing, will follow the same path it would if it was cutting.  So most text will appear "hollow", or as a "bubble"  You can avoid this by using a writing font in Cricut Design Space (Most cost around $5) OR, by choosing a free font thin enough that the lines "collapse on themselves"  (Those are the fonts listed here).  Although these are not truly free writing fonts, they are free fonts that will write without bubbling.

Quick Links:

These fonts all work well with the .05 markers - The thin end of the Target Dollar Spot Markers, The Jot Markers from the Dollar Tree, etc.  Most of these also work with the thin end of the Leisure Arts Markers, but the Leisure Arts thin tip is a little thinner than the Target and Jot Markers, so sometimes they work on these, sometimes they do not.  (they will work with the thicker end of the Leisure Arts Markers)  Each Sample tells you which marker I used for the sample, and has a list of links for downloading the fonts, under the sample.


Samples are all 0.8- 1inch tall.
 (sometimes 1 inch tall makes the font more than 8 inches wide, in those cases, I shrink the height of the font, to make them all fit neatly on 8.5x11 inch paper)

To Download the fonts, click on the font name under the sample - they are all linked to the site where they can be found.

Old Sample Sheets
I've redone all of my sample sheets on 8.5x11 paper, to display better, and you can right click on the image, download it, and print it, if you would like. All of those samples are above, in an almost alphabetical order.

These are the "original" sample sheets, which I'm preserving because they were a lot of work originally, and they do show the fonts in different markers and in different arrangements.  I'm finding a few fonts on these pages that I did miss in my redo, that may be because they write at .5 but not at 1 inch - I'll figure that out when I finish the .5 samples.

Fonts that Are listed below but not above include:

 Fancy Pen,   High Thin Light (Definitely only at .5)

  2. Fonts are installed to your device - download, unzip, install - then look for the font under system fonts. Hope that helps! There's a step by step with screenshots here - https://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/12/all-about-fonts-text-in-cricut-design.html

  3. Can these fonts be used with the writing feature in Cricut? It's showing as a cutting font only.

    1. All of these fonts were downloaded by me, and the samples shown are above are me using them as writing fonts, with the pens. To change them to draw, go to the top left of design space and click on where it says cut, choose draw from the drop down menu. Good luck! :-)

    2. Hello! I was able to change to draw, however, it shows an outline of the text. Will it draw like that or be filled lines? Thank you!
